Make unique record IDs publicly available
complete

Victor Kuzmichev
Record IDs for Adalo DB collections are used a lot while working with APIs. However we can't get them in Adalo builder itself. This leads to larger 3rd party scenarios, increased number of API calls to Adalo and additional fields in the collections.
E.g.: task to update some record via API using 3rd party service, after data processing.
Now: (0) be sure record has an artificially created unique ID (1) webhook receiving this ID for the record (2) LIST ALL records (3) filter by this artificial ID from webhook (4) data processing (5) UPDATE record by Adalo ID taken from (2).
With public UID: (1) webhook receiving record UID (2) data processing (3) UPDATE record by UID.

Please make this available so we can use other tools such as zapier / integromat etc. so query a single record

Victor Kuzmichev I built a button that gives the ID so you can send it to the backend. It needs to be given a list and the list needs to be filtered, so it is not the greatest solution, but it works for now until this is done.

Victor Kuzmichev I am not sure if this is an accident made by Adalo, but it seems that components can now get the complete information related to the record, including id, so at a minimum we can make a custom simple list that will give the ID on click.
Seeing this now, I am sure it won't be long until ID becomes a magic text item.
